My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 872: The Talisman Paper Got Wet
As the woman stepped into the temple, her figure abruptly rose, like a skyscraper towering from the ground.
Her form resembled a mantis, but without the mantis’s limbs.
In the darkness, only her face glowed with a cold white light, her body thick and terrifying, its size more like Godzilla, supporting that eerie head.
What... on earth is this thing!!
The woman slowly exhaled black gas, her icy, hollow eyes staring at us, "Eat... eat... so hungry... haven’t seen... a living person in a long time..."
The Old Town District is rarely visited, so this man-eating monster must not have feasted for ages.
Since I have Corpse Clothing, she’s not interested in me, instead, she eagerly fixates on Lin Hang.
Foul-smelling saliva dribbled from her mouth, forming a sticky puddle on the ground.
"The Three Souls are unsteady, the Refreshing Spirit floats, the fetal light takes shape, the ghostly essence disturbs and calls, Subdue Evil!!" Lin Hang’s Taoist Heart was firm, and Demon-Breaking golden light flashed in his eyes as he suddenly stepped forward.
He brandished a Subdue Evil Curse, performing dazzling Hand Seals.
Yet as soon as the Subdue Evil Curse was thrown, it landed heavily on the ground.
Damp...
As if soaking wet!!
Lin Hang was taken aback and reached into his pocket for more talismans, "How unlucky, why are they wet?"
"Step back, your talismans aren’t wet, they’ve been soaked with evil Qi." I pulled out the talismans from my own bag to check.
They were damp as well, with enough water to wring out.
I could only accept the bad luck and put them all back.
As Lin Hang had said, in the Old Town District, Mysterious Art was weakened to nearly unusable.
He had truly forgotten about this, throwing out talismans in vain self-defense.
The result was not only futile but almost led to him becoming a midnight snack for the strange woman...
Lin Hang was also quick-witted, in the eerie coldness, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
He lay on the ground, rolling like a gourd to take cover behind me.
Seeing Lin Hang retreat, I felt somewhat reassured.
With the tip of the Hairpin Flower Chinese Crabapple, I carved the Cleanse and Punish Evil Curse into the palm of my hand, "This talisman is no ordinary one, with a stroke in the palm, rain clouds will quickly gather. The afflicted who consume it will be healed of all diseases, evil destroyed, urgent as law commands!!"
The red incantation in my palm detached and imprinted onto the woman’s stout body.
The woman was fixed in the damp, icy air, contorting her strange, limbless body in distress, her facial features gradually twisting and becoming hideous, "Pain... so much pain!! Save me, Taoist... save me!! My stomach... save me..."
The woman had just wanted to eat Lin Hang.
Now she’s actually asking for our help!
Though her shape was bizarre, the head and upper body still appeared human.
From my experience observing her characteristics, she was certainly not something transformed by evil.
That mournful gaze contained an indescribable despair...
"Sis, watch out!" In my moment of hesitation, Lin Hang shouted.
The woman’s stout, barrel-like body unexpectedly stretched out a menacing tentacle, stabbing towards my heart.
I reflexively stepped onto the Golden Lotus, bouncing up instantly.
With both feet on the tentacle that newly sprouted, I used the sharp tip of the flower hairpin, slashing down without hesitation.
The tentacle was severed smoothly by the combined force of the Sharp Metal and Demon-Breaking Qi.
The next second, without any hindrance, I stepped up along the woman’s body, the stable Taoist Heart allowing the Golden Lotus to make my movement agile and light.
With a swift whirl like a hawk, I leaped.
The flower hairpin slashed a curved line on the woman’s massive body, splitting it into two parts. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
With a thud, the upper body hit the ground.
An eerie transformation occurred.
The woman’s upper body gradually shriveled and shrank, becoming much smaller.
On the ground lay a withered woman’s corpse, her hair in disarray, her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling.
Lin Hang peeked out, taking a glance.
Soon, he emerged fully from behind me, kicking the dark green tentacle on the ground, "Sis, this looks like... a large vine, no wonder it seemed so snake-like."
